If the VM is in a resource pool or folder, you’ll need to specify, but if the VM is in the root resource pool of the host like mine, you can just type the name. There’s a number of different ways to use this tool, including pointing at a datastore, searching using queries, etc.
#Vm fail to export as ovf vmware password#
You could also include a password if you’re scripting and don’t care if it’s in clear text. If you were trying to export a Workstation VM, you could just as easily use C: for instance. This is the path specific to ESXi/vCenter. I just put it in so that I wouldn’t have to type ‘yes’ to accept the SSL cert thumbprint.

#Vm fail to export as ovf vmware full#
Here’s the full command I used in my lab. I will break down the arguments individually, since this won’t be exactly the same for you.
